  • each point in the display's visual field is desirable for each point in the display's visual field to generate the accommodative response corresponding to its virtual depth. If the accommodative response to a display point does not correspond to the virtual depth of that point, as determined by the binocular depth cues of convergence and stereopsis, the human eye may experience an accommodation conflict, resulting in unstable imaging, harmful eye strain, headaches, and, in the absence of accommodation information, almost a complete lack of surface depth.
  • V , AR, and MR experiences can be provided by display systems having displays in which images corresponding to a plurality of depth planes are provided to a viewer.
  • the images may be different for each depth plane (e.g., provide slightly different presentations of a scene or object) and may be separately focused by the viewer's eyes, thereby helping to provide the user with depth cues based on the accommodation of the eye required to bring into focus different image features for the scene located on different depth plane and/or based on observing different image features on different depth planes being out of focus.
  • depth cues provide credible perceptions of depth.
  • display systems can use biometric information to enhance those experiences.
  • a biometric information exchange system can facilitate exchange of biometric information between a wearer of the mixed reality display system and a biometric information acquirer computing device.
  • a mixed reality device for example, a head mounted MR display system, may acquire substantial biometric information about the wearer of the MRD.
  • the biometric information can include, for example, information about the wearer's head or eye movements (e.g., where the user is looking), pupil sizes (e.g., which may indicate wearer interest or excitement), timings (e.g., how long the user is looking at an item), imagery of the wearer's environment (e.g., what the wearer is looking at), the wearer's location, and so forth.
  • the MRD may include sensors to measure the wearer's heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, skin response (e.g., perspiration), brain activity, etc.

If the biometric information exchange system does not receive a consent indication from the wearer, no biometric information may be exchanged on the exchange system. On the other hand, if a wearer indicates agreement to an aspect of the consent request, the biometric information exchange system may facilitate access to the biometric information of that wearer, for example, via a secure connection.
  • the wearable display system may utilize a biometric information exchange system to provide biometric information to a computing device of a biometric information acquirer, for example, a biometric information acquirer computing device may obtain biometric information retrieved from a wearable display system over a secure connection during a biometric information exchange.

Consequently, a particular accommodated state may be said to be associated with a particular one of depth planes 306, with an associated focal distance, such that objects or parts of objects in a particular depth plane are in focus when the eye is in the accommodated state for that depth plane.
  • three-dimensional imagery may be simulated by providing different presentations of an image for each of the eyes 302 and 304, and also by providing different presentations of the image corresponding to each of the depth planes. While shown as being separate for clarity of illustration, it will be appreciated that the fields of view of the eyes 302 and 304 may overlap, for example, as distance along the z-axis increases. In addition, while shown as flat for ease of illustration, it will be appreciated that the contours of a depth plane may be curved in physical space, such that all features in a depth plane are in focus with the eye in a particular accommodated state. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that the human eye typically can interpret a finite number of depth planes to provide depth perception. Consequently, a highly believable simulation of perceived depth may be achieved by providing, to the eye, different presentations of an image corresponding to each of these limited number of depth planes.

Thus, such conjunctive language is not generally intended to imply that certain embodiments require at least one of X, at least one of Y and at least one of Z to each be present.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes de visiocasque configurés pour faciliter l'échange d'informations biométriques entre le système de visiocasque et un autre dispositif informatique. Le système de visiocasque peut comprendre un dispositif de réalité virtuelle ou augmentée. Après avoir affiché une demande de consentement concernant des informations biométriques avec le système de visiocasque, une réponse à la demande de consentement qui contient une indication de consentement concernant un aspect des informations biométriques peut être déterminée. Après l'obtention d'informations biométriques de la part d'un utilisateur utilisant, par exemple, une caméra du visiocasque, et le traitement des informations biométriques, un résultat de traitement d'informations biométriques peut être généré. Le résultat peut être communiqué du système de visiocasque à un autre dispositif informatique.
